Q1Consider the following statements concerning food security and agricultural trade: 1. Adequate physical supply of food necessarily ensures food security. 2. Export restrictions may protect local consumers but can worsen food insecurity in importing countries. 3. World food prices and farm-gate prices represent different layers of the price system. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. Export controls can shift food stress from domestic consumers to import-dependent countries, and world, farm-gate, wholesale and retail prices are distinct layers. Statement 1 is incorrect because food security also requires access, utilisation, stability and nutrition.
Q2With reference to agricultural production and productivity, consider the following statements: 1. A high national output may result from a large cultivated area rather than high yield. 2. A small country may have high productivity but low total production. Which one of the following is correct?
Both statements are correct. Total production reflects both area and yield, so a large cultivated area can produce a high national total even with modest productivity. Conversely, high output per unit area in a small country need not translate into a large production total.
Q3Arrange the following stages of an agricultural value chain from the earliest stage to the final stage: A. Retail B. Processing C. Inputs and production D. Transport Select the correct answer using the code given below.
